A man who recently had human trafficking charges vacated by Massachusetts’ highest court is scheduled for a dangerousness hearing after authorities say he brutally raped a woman.

Boston Police officers were dispatched to Evalyn Street a little after 2 a.m. on Sunday and arrived to the sounds of a woman’s screams, according to the Suffolk District Attorney’s office. They found a woman, her face covered in blood and coughing up clotted bits of blood, in a walkway with her jeans pulled down to her ankles and her t-shirt, soaked in blood, pulled up.

“He raped me,” the woman allegedly told the responding officers as she pointed toward an apartment where her alleged assailant lived.

Anthony Dew, 42, was charged in municipal court in Dorchester with one count of aggravated rape. Judge Rebecca Figueroa ordered Dew held without bail ahead of a dangerousness hearing scheduled for Friday.

The victim told police Dew beat her as she “went in and out of consciousness” during the alleged attack.

Dew has a significant criminal history including pleading guilty in 2016 to multiple sex trafficking, assault and drug charges, for which he was sentenced to state prison for eight to 10 years. A month after his 2023 release from prison, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court vacated his conviction after making a finding that he was represented by ineffective counsel.

“This was a terrible, violent attack, and one likely to have lasting emotional and physical impacts on the victim. We will do everything we can to assist her now and as the case moves forward. The first step is to hold her attacker accountable for his intolerable conduct,” Suffolk DA Kevin Hayden said in a statement.

This is a developing story.
